Do keep me posted it something comes out of the diversity conference. I'd like to be involved in the formation if a usergroup if it's possible.
I talked to people in Hong Kong about forming a group to advise for Wikimania and provide a safe space for women to hang out and to provide a space for anyone (regardless of gender) to come if anything happens (sexual assault, harassment, and it never fails to happen). And I could see a group like that helping with that. I'm not attending the diversity conference, unfortunately, so I look forward to hearing any outcomes about a user group. Thanks Sydney for taking the lead! -Sarah On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 12:31 PM, Sydney <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > To my knowledge there is not a true Wikimedia affiliated organization > focused on the gender gap.
